* A lot of ''DoctorWho'' monsters probably qualify, but the Kandyman deserves special mention.

** All of the monsters from the ''SilentHill'' series fit this trope, except for [[spoiler:the very traditional looking demon at the end of ''SilentHillOrigins'']]. There are, among other things that are all HighOctaneNightmareFuel, monsters wearing straight jackets [[BodyHorror made of their own skin]], a woman in a cage with her mouth locked in a [[AndIMustScream perpetual scream]], and a nine foot tall doll with porcelain armor and [[{{Squick}} soft, bloody insides]]. None of these fit normal monster categories very well, but they are all absolutely freaking disturbing, and all of them are [[EverythingIsTryingToKillYou out to kill you]].

* On a similar note, the Heterodyne from [[Dai-Guard]] are similarly bizarre, but have some commonalities. No two are quite alike in design, shape and abilities, but are all based on the same basic composition which is equal parts fungus and octagon-shaped crystal. They then form a body out of surrounding matter, making no two quite alike. They can move freely (some even fly), are ''usually'' attracted to EM waves and often have odd powers to defend themselves. That's it. Everything else is up for grabs.

** Of course, demons could also get pretty weird to. Try looking up Bael, Asmodeus (Not the ''[[DungeonsAndDragons D&D]]'' version) and Decarabia, who appears as just a floating pentagram.

* [[MagicTheGathering Magic: The Gathering]] has ''many'' strange creatures. [[hottip:* :So many, in fact, that right now I'm too lazy to provide any examples. [[NeedsMoreLove Feel free to help.]]]]

* DragonAge: Origins has a fair bit of conventional fantasy creatures, but one of the odder "unique" monsters are the deepstalkers. Essentially, they're dog-sized, pale-skinned dinosaurs that have lamphrey-like mouths and live underground. They attack in huge packs and can spit acid..

* For many westerners, the Kappa (imp with a hollow space filled with water in its head) fits into this category, if just for the really dumb weakness (if the water falls out, it loses its powers; it bows if you do). Also, Kasa Obake, the one-eyed, long-tongued umbrella spirits.

* The "monster the DM made up himself" from ''Munchkin''. It gets + 2 on a Saturday, among others.

*** A Giant Stomach

* In {{VVVVVV}}, we have random numbers, buses, glitched-out blocks, ''lies'', and other such enemies. Apparently, all these ideas came from a dream journal the developer kept, which makes them all the weirder.

* The Silicates from ''Island of Terror'' are some of the most bizzare monsters of all. Small, starfish-like creatures with an elephantine trunk. They are covered in a thick calcium based shell which makes them well armored. They feed on calcium by injecting a dissolving fluid into a victim and sucking up the liquid goo. [[NightmareFuel Leaving behind the flesh and organs untouched]]. Even better? They divide every 6 hours.
